He he

I was told by a close friend that I could not have such happy go lucky posts about Aiden and have the blog title: Bitter Party of One. So until I come up with a better title we are now: Bitter Party of Two! He he...

We're having a boy!

Yipee! We are so excited. We found out last week at our ultrasound and his name will be Aiden Hamilton. I am kind of a fuddy-duddy about my ultrasound pics and I don't think I want to post them. I mean the thought of my uterus being posted on the internet send shivers down my spine. So, unless you are a close friend you probably won't see them. I may change my mind as time goes on, we will see.

I began looking at day cares this week. This is not the fun task that most things involving this pregnancy are. I can't imagine having to hand my baby off to a stranger after only 8 weeks of time in this world. I am going back out today to look at more, and hopefully I will have a better attitude than I did yesterday.

My DH had never really read my blog before so I sent him the link so he could look at it. He came home that evening and said "we need to talk about your blog". I am sitting there going "I haven't said anything bad about him, what is his problem?" He then says, "I looked at Amy's and hers is much better than yours. She has videos and all kinds of stuff." My DH is a silly jokester, so this is not at all out of character.

Our sweet potato

This is an awfully weird looking sweet potato. Anywho, I am feeling a lot more movement recently and baby T even woke me up in the middle of the night moving. It is such a surreal experience to feel your child growing inside of you. We bought a gender neutral stroller this week and that was our first big baby purchase. It was very exciting! We bought it because it was on super sale.

Now, the important news: I go in on Thursday for our big ultrasound to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Jay and I are very anxious to find out. We also prayed this morning for the health of baby T this week at our ultrasound. But, do not expect to find out what we are having on Thursday. We are going to have the ultrasound tech write down the sex on a card and seal it. We are then going to go home and open it with our family over Easter weekend. We can't wait! I just hope that Jay does not torture me with the card.

Here is a pic of my belly from this week:

I was tagged

I was tagged by a woman who I met when we went through a miscarriage together. She is a very strong woman. She has recently moved on to Sucess after a Loss with me and I could not be any happier for her. She deserves a sticky baby!

Here are the rules:
1. Find your sixth picture folder and in that folder, the sixth picture.
2. Post it on your blog with some of the background of the picture.
3. Tag four others and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been tagged.


This picture is of me and the four most important ladies in my life. This picture was taken at our annual Christmas get togther in 2007. From left to right, me, Amy, Jennifer, Catherine, and Jaimie. I look drunk...I was...


I am tagging: Amy, Catherine, and Mrs.KS, and Abbey

16 weeks and a first time event

I am now 16 weeks. It is so exciting to see my belly getting bigger and start to tell people that we are expecting. I was sitting at work on Friday after lunch and felt what other women have described as a "flutter". It felt like a muscle spasm that was very light and it did not hurt. Then it dawned on me immediately after it happened that it was Baby T. I almost busting out crying with joy right there in my classroom. I haven't felt another one since, which is normal. But I can't wait until it happens again.

My first baby purchase

Here is my first baby purchase. I mainly bought this because of the one that read "cute but messy--just like daddy". Which is sort of ironic because I can't eat now without making a mess out of my belly. It is like food droppings are sudddenly attracted to the spot.

My first belly pic

I have really hesitated taking pictures of my belly until now. I am not totally sure why, but I just felt like there was not much there and with the m/c pregnancy I could not stand to look at any pictures from that time period. I am deffinitely getting a belly although some of my friends have scoffed at my belly saying it was teeny, puny, and someone even called it pitiful. If only people could walk a mile in others shoes.....

Anyway, here is my first belly pic and I am totally in love with the baby inside!
